"So sorry, mine is still with me. Literally, she moved in 4 years ago and at the age of 80 is still going strong, although the memory wanders off quite often x"
No it's OK not a sad memory at all good times when she was around  |

Well my mum lives in the states but from time to time it feels like she has passed.
But the first thing when I think of my mum is "I hope I don't disappoint her".
I know I don't just how I think alot of the time. The joys of living with depression make others happy while you constantly battling with yourself. |

My Mum is very poorly at the moment, but she keeps fighting on
She's 82, a couple of months shy of 83
She told me last night she's not ready to lie down and die yet
So, whilst I'm wrecked with worry, I'm also proud that she ain't no quitter
All 4ft9 of her  |

Her knitting, patience and cheery disposition.
We grew up with the comforting sound of constant clicking in our household.
As a result of her perseverance working on most complex items both myself and my sister are very creative often picking up challenging projects. We have tried and can turn our hands to a great many different crafts and for that I will be eternally grateful.
Being creative often helps us on black dog days and got us both through the last 18mths.
Creativity was my mums parting gift x |

You’re a lucky woman. I can’t wait for the opportunity to care for my mum. And good strong genes, by the sound of it! |

What a lovely thread. Loving all the replies
I remember my Mum's laughter and her wicked sense of humour
Baking, she was always baking when I was a child, that was my happy place sat at the kitchen table waiting to be passed the spoon and the bowl 
A fighter, she always fought my corner whether I was right or wrong, she had my back always.
I just miss her, lost her 5 years ago and it's been hard without her

I was awful for it and I loved baking with my own boys just so I could give them the spoon and bowl |

I know, you kind of always assume your parents will be there.
I lost a sense of me and lost my confidence along with her. Trying to get it back but I don't know how |

"Mines hatred.
Can't stand the poor excuse for a woman.
Mrs M."
I don't have the best relationship with mine either. I think mine is more disappointment of letting me down, constant betrayal. One thing in life you can only trust yourself sad times x |

I don't hate the memory of her but I'm happier now she has gone ...I have no understanding of how she could treat us how she . .. she never liked children and she made a point of telling us that daily...We ruined her life apparently |

That was just what she said what she did was a lot worse ...Fortunately our stepdad stood between her and us and we were safe when he was at home ..She used to attack him too and never once did he strike back, only shielded himself and tried to calm her down.. |

We live with my mum.
I still imagine my mum as the working two jobs, fiesty firecracker that she was. But daily I see how her health is letting her down, how much more doddery she is getting. I know that one day the time will come that she won’t be there to listen to my moans, telling me to get a grip or asking me to pop the kettle on for her 25th cup of tea, bemoaning the fact I’ve put too much milk in. Getting me to answer the door thrice weekly to the Amazon delivery as she “wants to make the most of her Amazon Prime account”, or unpacking the shopping and wondering why there is one solitary apple instead of a bag because her internet shopping needs a bit of work. That all scares me.
My mum is my rock, and I will be lost without her. |

"Alcoholic violence and rage. It's why I hate Christmas. "
That is a horrible thing to read and I hope life’s turned out top notch for you and your free beard rides which is a great user name.

Years of mental abuse and made to feel worthless I try not to think about her even though I had to unfortunately move back in with her and still live there |

My Mam was lovely in every way and always put her children first. I’m number six and was lucky enough to have been taught so many things by my Mam, she was a fabulous baker and whenever I’m baking, using her rolling pin or her flour scoop I remember her. This thread has brought back so many happy memories so I’m going to make a lemon meringue pie and think of my Mam as I do it |

"Morning all thinking of my mum she passed 12 years ago my one regret is she never seen her gran kids what's yours  "
Thanks for including us dude.
My mum was unfussy, genuine, no drama, told it how it was, always supportive but always said you deal with consequences of your actions. One of the nicest people on the planet. Miss her so very much and really could do with her now as everything is a mess.
She would sing the wrong words to Rancid and misfits songs while cleaning. She put up with a load of shit she shouldn’t have because she was committed to her three boys who she was really proud of. Not recovered since she died.
Wishing I could spread as much happiness as she did.
I’m really sorry to hear your mum didn’t get to meet your grandkids. Please accept a virtual goth hug xxx |
